It's hard to balance because those parts need T's love too.
The email agreement changed because my H got sick. I also have trouble keeping the connection with her since I don't see her weekly.I'd rather deal with it than her stopping email. Yes, I know T can't meet all my unmet needs but she believes that SE is helping, and that the physical touch and love are too. I agree. I'm sorry it didn't work with your former T. What orientation did she follow? Just wondering. |
We did fairly traditional psychoanalysis (3-4/week, me on the couch). She was not completely a blank slate- she readily shared her feelings about most anything, including her love for me. She would not provide information about her personal life with one exception. When she went on vacation she would tell me where she was going. She knew I needed to know to stay connected and not go adrift.
I googled her extensively and told her. That's how I discovered that we shared a birthday!
